Brian
Blog was a major hit last year, and the chuckles of your first entry on the new site bode well. For news hungry Cavs fans like me here in Japan your blog is the absolute best. Also appreciate that you always answer e-mails. Pretty damn cool. Enjoy the last gasps of the off-season.

Brian has promised me that his 2005-2006 hoops season will be known as “The Windhorstinator: Year of the Jared.” Or, as Hollywood is now calling it, “J2.” Only 6″ veggie subs without the fixins. No more greasy room service while on the road, and no more fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches dipped in lard while at home. By the time the Cavs get drubbed in the first round, Brian will be looking like Kate Moss with a laptop. My favorite Cavs scribe should not be dropping dead from a heart attack even before LeBron’s tailor fits LeBron for his Knicks or Nets uniform. That would be a premature shame, and is simply unacceptable.
